National Loop Co. 38' (6' X 13') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 19' Wide Driveways - X-NL19-18

Retrofit projects move faster with the National Loop Co. 38' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG loop that eliminates on-site wire winding. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. Fitting takes one shallow saw cut: a 3/16" slot, 1" deep, cleaned out, filled with the loop, and sealed with loop sealant. With the 13' side crossing the lane and about 3' of clearance per edge, and the 6' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits 2-car drives with extra walkway room and estate-style rural homes.

Features:

• Predetermined number of machine-wound turns removes the guesswork of achieving optimal read range
• Neatly stacked turns accept loop sealant completely, locking out moisture for long service life
• Optimizes read range, eliminates faulty signals, and minimizes callbacks
• Saves labor cost compared with winding a loop by hand in the field
• Provides the non-contact vehicle detection UL 325 gate systems count toward their two required means of entrapment protection
• Works wherever vehicles need detecting: automatic gates, parking barriers, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
• One continuous, non-spliced XLP-insulated wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
